Why Would Anyone Even Want “Free” College In An Age Where It Is Obsolete?

This year, “free college” has become a hot-button political issue, especially among young people. It is true that college debt has been crippling for many young people, but they sadly fell for a scam in even going to college to begin with.

As children we are traumatized by our public school teachers, who year after year tell us that our lives will be miserable and filled with failure if we do not take formal education seriously, and continue with it all the way through college. This idea that success and happiness is dependent upon performance in school and other government institutions is a tactic of mind control.

There was once a time where the establishment was able to set up universities as a barrier to entry for certain jobs, but for the most part, that is a thing of the past.

If college actually did have a purpose at some time, that time is long gone, and people can now educate themselves on the internet without the propaganda, and can teach themselves the skills that they need to enter the workplace.

Diploma’s are not even very impressive to employers nowadays because many have found that a formal education does not always guarantee a good worker and a critical thinker. People who have a good attitude and an ability to think on their own are now in a much higher demand than people who have been able to sit through college classes and follow the orders of their teachers.

In reality, it seems that going to college actually puts people at a disadvantage when entering the workforce, because they waste years of their lives in school when they could have been learning skills and working their way up their field. Additionally, they are stuck with a massive load of debt that they will be unable to pay off for many years.

Earlier this month, it was reported that for the second year in a row, the Gallup Organization, along with Purdue University, surveyed about 30,000 graduates of four-year colleges in the U.S and discovered that most of them did not feel that the “college experience” was worth the time and money spent.

There are some jobs that still do require college diplomas as a matter of policy, but most of these industries are deeply entrenched in the state, and people should shy away from these positions anyway. To work as a doctor in a hospital you may need a college diploma, but you will also be brainwashed with the lies of the big pharma culture, all the way through college and medical school. However, to open a holistic medical center and work as an alternative doctor would require much more independent research and on the job learning and would not be as grounded in formal education. Likewise, most government and wall street jobs require diplomas, but who in their right mind would want to work for the enemy?!

Most independent employers have become very lenient about formal education, and instead are looking for intelligent people with a good attitude. Anything that can be learned in a college can be learned on the internet for free, and the whole entire formal education structure is now obsolete.

So why would anyone be interested in even going to college, and also, why has this become such a big political issue, when it should be irrelevant?

The documentary below gives an excellent explanation of what exactly is wrong with college.
